The Mount Fuji (Fujisan, ? Japanese pronunciation: Acerca de este sonido[ ]d ]isa ]] )also known as Fujiyama by a transliteration error, is the highest peak of the island of Honshu and all of Japan, with 3776 meters of altitude. It is located between the prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi in central Japan and just west of Tokyo, from which you can observe on a clear day. Fuji is a stratum and is the symbol of Japan.

Considered sacred since ancient times, women were forbidden to rise to the top until the Meiji era (late 19th century) century). Today it is a well-known tourist destination, as well as a popular destination for mountaineering. The "official" season for mountaineering lasts from the beginning of August to the end of August. Most of them climb at night to appreciate the sunrise.

Mount Fuji is an attractive volcanic cone and is a recurring theme in Japanese art. The most renowned work is the masterpiece 36 Views of Mount Fuji by ukiyo-e painter Katsushika Hokusai. It also appears in Japanese literature and is the subject of many poems.

Mount Fuji is classified as an active volcano, but with little risk of eruption. The last recorded eruption dates back to 1707, during the Edo period. Then, a new crater was formed, as well as a second peak (called Hoeizan after the name of the era).

After the rise of the samurai in feudal Japan (12 to 16), the current Chinese characters for "Fuji" began to be used. Fu (富) means 'wealth', while ji (士) is 'samurai'. Finally, san (山) means 'mountain', so the full name is Fujisan —although popularly in Spanish-speaking countries it is known as "Fujiyama", this name is not correct because the reading of the character 山 as "yama" (and not like "san") is incorrect when it forms another word together with another kanji (onyomi pronunciation).

The height of this mountain, 3.8 kilometers, is often remembered by the Japanese as minanaro: "mi" for "3" (三), "lullaby" by "7" (七), "ro" for "6" (六) (see: Japanese numerals), and is taught to understand how to take Mount Fuji as an example, and be as tall as it (spiritually).

Toponymy and etymology

Due to different methods of transliterating Japanese, Mount Fuji has different names, some of which are wrong. In Japanese, Mount Fuji is called Fujisan but due to a misinterpretation of the kanji 山 (yama, mountain), it happens that Westerners, many times, they refer to it as Fujiyama. The other thirty names used for Mount Fuji in Japan are obsolete or belong to the poetic realm. Among these names are: Fuji-no-Yama (ふじの山, Mount Fuji), Fuji-no-Takano (ふじの高嶺, Fuji's High Peak), Fuyo-ho (芙蓉峰, Lotus Peak) and Fugaku (富 岳 or 岳 富, Mount Fuji).

The characters for Mount Fuji, 富士, mean, respectively, "wealth" or "abundance" and "a man with a certain status", but these kanji are probably ateji, that is, they were probably selected due to the similarity of their pronunciation to the syllables of the name, but without having a particular meaning. In the Nippon-shiki and Kunrei romanization methods, the name is transliterated Huzi. At the 1939 San Francisco Exposition, a giant photograph was titled 'Mont-Huzi'. However, the Fuji transcription by the Hepburn method is still the most common worldwide.

Fuji's name is uncertain. A popular etymology says that it comes from 不二 (without precedent). Another says that it comes from 不尽 (without end). A Japanese classical teacher from the Edo period, Hirata Atsutane, explains for his part that the name derives from a word that means "a mountain rising in the shape of the spike of a rice plant." British missionary John Batchelor (1854-1944) speculated that the name derived from the Ainu word for 'fire'; (Fuchs), of the goddess Kamuy Fuchi, but it is contradicted by the Japanese linguist Kyosuke Kindaichi (1882-1971) on the basis of phonetic evolution. Also, huchi means "old woman" and ape "fire" Consequently ape huchi Kamuy means: goddess of fire. Research on the distribution of place names including Fuji suggests that the origin of the name is Yamato rather than Ainu. Finally, a Japanese toponymist Kagami kanji explains that the name has the same root as anglesina (Fuji) and rainbow (variant of niji) and comes from "long slopes well trained". A Taketori monogatari text says that the name comes from the "immortal" (不死, Fushi) and the image of the numerous soldiers (富, fu) (士, shi). Although 士 can mean “soldier” (兵士, heishi) or samurai (武士, bushi), its original meaning is "a man of a certain status". Climbing the slopes of the mountain.

Eruptive history

Background

After the "old Fuji" phase, a period of dormancy of 4,000 years that ended 5,000 years ago, the current "new Fuji" phase begins. The eruptions of Mount Fuji present lava flows, emissions of magma, slag and volcanic ash, as well as landslides and lateral eruptions, from which comes the adjective "great eruption store". New Fuji's ash is often black and its eruptions are recent in terms of geological layers. Precise information is reported in Japanese historical documents from the s. VIII d. C.. They present a series of representative eruptions.

Mount Fuji during prehistoric times

There have been four explosive eruptions that occurred during the Jomon period, approximately 3000 years ago, known under the names: Sengoku (Sg), Ōsawa scoria (Bone), Ōmuro scoria (Olmo) and Sunazawa scoria (Zn). Since the wind generally blows from the west in the Mount Fuji region, most of the expelled tephras fell in the east. However, in the case of the Ōsawa scoria, they were carried by an easterly wind towards the surroundings of Hamamatsu.

About 2,300 years ago, the eastern slope of the volcano collapsed and a lahar moved down into the Gotenba region to the Ashigara Valley to the east and Suruga Bay through the city of Mishima to the south. This incident is known today as the Gotenba lava flow (御殿場泥流, Gotenba deiryū).

The Heian Eruption

In the year 864 (during the Heian period), an eruption that produced a large amount of lava developed on the northeastern slope of Mount Fuji. Lava filled the vast Senoumi Lake (せの海, Se no umi), dividing it in two and forming present-day Sai Lake (西湖, Saiko) and Shoji Lake (精進 湖, Shōjiko). This event is known as Aokigahara lava (青木ヶ原溶岩, Aokike gen yōgan). The place is currently covered by the dense Aokigahara forest.

Jogan 6, the fifth month: Mount Fuji has been erupting for 10 days and expels from the summit an immense amount of lava and ashes that fall on the earth to the ocean to Edo Bay. Many people perish and there are a large number of homes destroyed. The volcanic eruption has begun on the flank of the Fuji-Sannear Mount Asama, he throws ashes to the province of Kai.

The Hōei Eruption

The last eruption of Mount Fuji, occurred in 1707, and is known as the "great eruption of Hōei". It occurred 49 days after the Hōei earthquake, which is among the largest ever recorded in Japan, developed on the southwestern slope of Mount Fuji and has formed three small peaks designated "first", "second" and "third chimney".

Hōei 4: a rash of Mount Fuji. Lava and ashes fall like rain to: Izu, Kai, Sagami and Musashi.
Siyun-sai Rin-siyo, Hayashi Gah, Nihon dai Ichiran.

Despite not having produced a lava flow, this eruption is notable for the spread of volcanic ash and slag emitted as far as Edo (the old name for Tokyo) located 100 kilometers to the northeast. The volume of ash is estimated at 800,000,000 m³. The following year, the volcanic debris accumulated in the fields near the course of the Sakawa River, located to the east of the mountain, was washed away by the rains, filling the bed of the watercourse and thus forming temporary barriers. The downpour on August 7 and 8 caused an ash and mudslide that destroyed the barriers, causing flooding in the Ashigara Plain.

Other known eruptions

Since the year 781, sixteen eruptions have been recorded, most of which have been Pelean explosive eruptions. Most occurred during the Heian period with twelve eruptions between 800 and 1083. Sometimes, periods of inactivity can last hundreds of years such as between 1083 and 1511, when it did not erupt for 400 years. At present, there have been no eruptions since the Hoei eruption in 1707-1708, about 300 years ago.

Prevention

The prevention of eruptive risks is ensured by the Coordinating Committee for Prediction of Volcanic Eruptions dependent on the Japan Meteorological Agency (気象庁, Kishōchō), regarding the forecast and seismic control of events; the Cabinet Office regarding the creation of an evacuation plan; and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (国土交通省, Kokudo-kōtsū-shō) for protection against the risks of landslides.

Thus, between September 2000 and January 2001, the telluric shocks under the volcano went from one or two a month to 35 in September, 133 in October, 222 in November, 144 in December and 36 in January 2001, making fear the worst, before everything returned to normal. These tremors were mostly low frequency and were located fifteen kilometers deep, northeast of the summit.

First ascent

The first known ascent of Mount Fuji dates back to 663 and was made by an anonymous Buddhist monk. The first non-Japanese to climb the volcano was Sir Rutherford Alcock in 1860. The summit, as a result of its sacred nature since ancient times, was forbidden to women until the Meiji era. Today it is a popular tourist destination and many Japanese climb it at least once a year.

Military presence

In the past, samurai practiced their training at the foot of Mount Fuji, near the present-day city of Gotenba. The shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo practiced yabusame in the region around beginning of the Kamakura period. Since 2006, the Japan Self-Defense Forces (自衛隊, Jieitai) of the Japanese army have been stationed in the fields of Kita-Fuji (northeast) and Higashi- Fuji (southeast). The United States Marine Corps also has military bases at the foot of the volcano, in Camp Fuji (Kantō Region plain).

Geography

Situation

Photograph taken from a satellite of Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji is located in central Japan, on the main island, Honshu, surrounded by the Japanese Alps to the northwest and the Pacific Ocean to the southeast. Administratively, it spans the prefectures of Shizuoka to the south and Yamanashi to the north. The summit is 3,776 meters high, making it the highest point in Japan and on certain days it can be seen from Tokyo, located 100 kilometers to the northeast.

It is surrounded by the five Fujigoko lakes: Lake Motosu, Lake Shoji, Lake Sai, Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka. These lakes, as well as Lake Ashi, offer an exceptional view of the volcano. At its feet is the Aokigahara forest and cities such as Gotenba in the east, Fujiyoshida in the north and Fujinomiya in the southwest. It is connected to the rest of the megalopolis of Tokyo, which lies to the northeast, by a dense communication network consisting of highways and shinkansen bullet trains.

Topography

The topography of Mount Fuji is dictated by the volcanic activity from which it was born: an almost symmetrical cone shape with a base of thirty kilometers, steep slopes and a good amount of 3,776 meters of altitude, giving a volume of 870 km³. This stratovolcano is crowned by a crater 500 to 700 meters in diameter and a depth of between 100 and 250 meters. The only real flaw on the slopes is formed by the Hōei-zan crater, which lies about 2,300 meters above sea level.

Climate and vegetation

Due to the high altitude of the summit of Mount Fuji, there are different climates along its slopes. Much of the mountain is beyond the alpine floor, where the climate is very cold and windy, due to the altitude, which limits the maintenance of the vegetation that has not yet managed to fully regenerate since the last eruption, which occurred three years ago. centuries. This harsh climate makes it difficult for snow to melt, which falls frequently during winter and lasts until May, although some snowfields last all year. The lower slopes are covered with forests, and at the foot of the mountain, with a more temperate climate, the fields are cultivated.

The average annual temperature is -6.5 °C and the average temperatures vary between -18 °C to 8 °C in August. The recorded temperature records are 18.2 °C on August 16, 2007 and -35.5 °C. On September 25, 1966, the weather station measured a record wind speed for Japan of 91 m/s, approximately 330 km/h, at the time of a typhoon. The high altitude of Mount Fuji and its relative isolation from other mountains in Japan sometimes cause atmospheric turbulence called a von Kárman vortex street. On March 5, 1966, British Overseas Airways Corporation Boeing 707 Flight 911, caught in this type of turbulence, dissolved in midair and crashed near Mount Fuji shortly after rising from Haneda International Airport, without leave no survivors (113 passengers and 11 crew members were present in the unit).

Geology

Mount Fuji's main crater.

Mount Fuji is a volcano that is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, and its explosive eruptions mostly classify it as a gray volcano. The volcano is located at the base of the triple junction between the Philippine plate and the micro- Amur and Okhotsk plates of the Eurasian plate. These plates are, respectively, the western and eastern parts of Japan and the Izu Peninsula. The Fuji volcano is the northernmost of the volcanic arcs formed by the Izu Islands. In addition to the main summit dominated by a crater, the flanks and feet of Mount Fuji contain around fifty lava domes and small eruptive vents.

Scientists have identified four different phases of volcanic activity in the formation of Mount Fuji. The first phase, dubbed Sen-komitake, consists of a recently discovered heart of andesite deep within the mountain. The second Komitake Fuji, is a basalt layer probably formed over hundreds of thousands of years. Approximately 100,000 years ago, "Old Fuji" would have formed above Komitake-Fuji. Ultimately, "New Fuji" formed on the summit of "Old Fuji", around 10,000 years ago.

Mount Fuji is classified as a low risk active volcano. The last recorded eruption began on December 16, 1707, and ended around February 24, 1708, during the Edo period. It is sometimes referred to as the "great Hoei eruption". During this event, a volcanic crater appeared, and a second peak, named Hoei-cen, formed midslope, on the southeastern side of the mountain. Scientists predict less volcanic activity in the next years.

It is estimated that under Mount Fuji there are about 150 lava flows, but only 10 lava caves despite the fact that they are of great magnitude since 8 of them exceed 500 meters in length. The largest, the Mitsuke Ana, is 2,139.75 meters.

Activities

Ascents

A crowd of people climbing to the summit.

The ascent to Mount Fuji is relatively easy, although it can be complicated due to the great horizontal distance between the starting point and the summit. Sometimes the trails are crowded, as the volcano is a popular pilgrimage site, except in winter when it is covered in snow and ice. The most popular period to climb it is from July 1 to August 27, when shelters and other tourist services open, as well as buses run to the fifth station, the last one accessible by road and the closest to the summit. The number of annual visitors to Mount Fuji is estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000 people, including foreigners, who make up 30%.

The ascent can last between three and eight hours and the descent between two and five. The path is divided into ten stations and the road ends at the fifth, at about 2,300 meters above sea level. Lodgings are not usually open overnight for walkers. There are four main paths to reach the summit from the fifth station: Kawaguchiko, Subashiri, Gotemba and Fujinomiya (clockwise) with four secondary routes from the foot of the mountain: Shojiko, Yoshida, Suyama and Murayama. The stations are distributed along the different tracks that are at different heights: the highest, the fifth station located at Fujinomiya, followed by Kawaguchiko, and finally for the Gotenba Subashiri. Kawaguchiko, despite being the second tallest, is the most popular due to its large parking area.

Although most hikers do not pass the Subashiri and Gotenba routes during the ascent, many do on the descent to enjoy their roads covered in volcanic ash. Thus, it is possible to cover the distance that separates the seventh from the fifth station in just thirty minutes. It is also possible to go up with a mountain bike to enjoy the descent, although the exercise is particularly risky, due to the crowds and the difficulty in controlling speed.

The four routes from the foot of the mountain offer access to historical sites: Murayama is the oldest, while Yoshida has many ancient temples, teahouses, and ryokan. Tibetan bears can sometimes be seen along the way. Every August 26, a torchlight procession is organized through the temples and carried to the Yoshida Xinto Shrine. Lately these routes have gained popularity.

The mountaineers who make the ascent at night, in addition to avoiding the excursion under the sun, have the privilege of seeing it rise from the summit, an event particularly appreciated by the Japanese, especially on the night of December 31 despite the harsh weather conditions. It is then possible to observe the panorama during the descent.

Until the end of May, Mount Fuji offers many ski touring routes on its north-eastern slope, starting at the 5th station (2,300m). The access road is open from 3:00 in the morning.

Normally, paragliders leave from the Gotenba car park, between Subashiri and Hoei-zan peak, on the southern slope of the mountain, although sometimes they do it from other places, depending on the direction of the wind. Several paragliding schools use the middle slopes of the mountain as a training ground.

Protection of the environment

Hakone and Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, with the five lakes of Fuji, Hakone, the Izu Peninsula and the Izu Islands. It is known to host rare lizard species, particularly those of the genus Takydromus.

A candidate since 2007, Mount Fuji has been on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites since June 2013. The project, which began in the early 1990s, seemed impossible to achieve due to to the fact that the environmental conditions were drastic, but this point of view has led the authorities to participate in a cleanup of this emblematic mountain.

Observatory

In 1932, a temporary weather station was installed on the summit of Mount Fuji. It collected a large amount of information that it sent on VHF waves. In 1936, it was decided to transform it into a permanent station, becoming the highest at the time.

Mount Fuji's new millimetric radar observatory.

On September 10, 1964, the installation was completed with a radar with a range of 800 km with a circular antenna with a diameter of five meters. Despite the difficult weather conditions, it was used at this location until the 2000, when it was gradually replaced by satellites. In 2004, the new Fujiyoshida millimeter observatory was rebuilt at the foot of the mountain. One of the goals of the weather station is to predict typhoons by measuring air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure.

Industry

Groundwater from and around Mount Fuji is used for pharmaceuticals, the paper industry, and mineral water for its richness in vanadium. There are some hot springs around the volcano that allow for a good hot spring industry.

The name Fuji is present in several franchises in Japan, one of the most prominent, the Fujifilm brand, manufacturing digital, photography and video cameras.

Car layout

There is a race track at the foot of Mount Fuji, the Fuji Speedway. The 4,563-kilometre track was established in 1965 and hosted the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix in the 1976-1977 season. That year, a serious accident involving Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari caused the death of a spectator and a track marshal. The Japanese Grand Prix stopped being held at this location in 1987, to be held later at Suzuka. In 2000, Fuji Speedway was bought by Toyota. Finally, in 2007 and 2008 the Japanese Grand Prix was held here again. Formula 1, with victory for Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, respectively.

Mount Fuji in popular culture

Artistic representations

Due to its uniquely symmetrical mountain profile, Mount Fuji has become a symbol of Japan. After being a source of inspiration for many poets, it has appeared in a myriad of pictorial representations (e-maki monogatari: illustrated scrolls, Fuji-Sankei mandals, ukiyo-e prints or craft). The earliest example found is a drawing on paper on a sliding door around the 11th century.

It has received special attention from Japanese artists, highlighting the popularity of the master Japanese printmaker Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), with his Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku Sanjurokkei, 1831). In 1835, Hokusai published One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku Hyakkei) in the form of three books in black and gray.

At the same time, another great artist, Hiroshige (1797-1858), known mainly for presenting Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido in the years 1833-1834, also painted two series of Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji.

In the same period, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) painted some representations of Mount Fuji.

More recently, Kokei Kobayashi (1883-1957) painted Fuji and Yokoyama Misao (1920-1973) Red Fuji (aka-Fuji). Shinya Shimoto, who paints pictures mostly related to natural disasters, has devoted a whole series of paintings to Mount Fuji.

Religious symbols

The Senge shrine, starting point for Fujiyoshida's historic route.

Mount Fuji has been a sacred mountain since the s. VII d. C.. Numerous Japanese names refer to it with a religious character. According to Shintoism, an emperor ordered the destruction of the top of the mountain to achieve an exile of immortality that he possessed: the smoke that sometimes escapes is due to this potion being consumed. Furthermore, according to tradition, the Shinto gods and Fuji-hime and Sakuya-hime lived as Kono-banasakuya-hime, "Princess who makes trees bloom" (particularly cherries). Buddhism venerates it for its shape that recalls the white button and the eight petals of the lotus flower. For all these reasons, Mount Fuji was off-limits to women until 1872: a shrine called Nyonin-don (women's refuge) allowed them to wait to protect their husbands, brothers or sons.

A torii near the top of the volcano

To venerate the numerous divinities of the different religions, several shrines and numerous torii have been built on or at the foot of Mount Fuji, marking the route to mark the limits of the sacred enclosure. Brotherhoods (Fuji-ko) have been established since the 17th century to venerate the mountain and organize pilgrimages, such as that of Hasegawa Takematsu in 1630.

From the moment of Jikigyō Miroku's (1671-1733) death by fasting on Mount Fuji, faith becomes religion and ascension ritual, even if his thought has been misinterpreted. More recently, Sects dedicated specifically to the worship of Mount Fuji have been created, especially in the 1940s. Some examples are Fuji-Goho, founded in 1946 by Ito Gensaku and Fuji-Kyo i>, founded in 1948 by Hasegawa Teruhiro.

Unesco Distinction as a World Heritage Site

In 2007, Mount Fuji and the entire Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park were nominated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. However, it did not achieve this task. Despite this, the Government of Japan made the request again, in order for UNESCO to recognize it in 2013. Finally, on June 22, 2013, UNESCO granted it the status of World Heritage Site as "Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration»
